I am thinking of make my main characters in my book a betrayer but I read somewhere about how much of a cliche that was, especially in YA fiction. But I can’t think of a better character arc or role for this character? What do you think? Is someone backstabbing someone else a cliche?. AJ xx

Life is given to each of us in a flatpack box with no instructions and a few screws missing. We just spend the next however many decades trying to put it together then you discover the instructions, you have to write them yourselfs. It’s what you make and how you put it back together when it falls apart, not waiting for someone else to do it.

It’s been on my mind for a bit now.What actually makes you popular? Is it how you look or who your friends with or how you act around other people. What makes this particular people so interesting that everyone is terrified of yet secretly wishes they could be friends with . Is doing that one daring thing that get’s you noticed or bullying some kid you’ve never met to show off what you can. We spend years either fearing this group of friends or having the time of our lives being part of it and never consider that they are simply a bunch of friends who happened to loved and admired by everyone. Personally I think most of them are a bunch of arseholes that bullied me and if there’s one thing I’m learning at school, being popular is only who your were.

So thoughts anyone, what does being popular mean to you either now or when you were at school? AJ xx
